Welcome back Year 6 and Year 7.  I hope you had an awesome half-term break.

 1. Typing Practice - 15 minutes
 2. Next, on to the CREATE - Criterion D (Maximum 6 points).

Follow the plan you made to create your product (recipe flyer).

Then write a paragraph saying whether your plan worked EXACTLY. Since you are beginners at making production plans, many things could go wrong. Did you leave out any important steps? Was the actual time to produce each step different from your estimated time? Be sure to record any modifications (changes) you made to your plan. Say what you changed and why you made the change;-)

Need Investigations from Rosa, Leo, and Matilda.  Please print.

Learning Objective: Understand the importance of a plan, and follow the plan to produce a product/solution of appropriate quality.

1. 15 minutes typing

Today we will focus on the DESIGN - Criterion B Maximum 6 points

According to the IBO:
Students are expected to generate more than two feasible designs that meet the design specification and to evaluate these against the design specification.

Students are then expected to select one design, justify their choice and evaluate this in detail against the design specification.

To get a 5-6: The student generates more than two designs and selects one with several reasons. The student attempts to explain how his/her design meets his/her specifications.
2. Using paper and pencil (colored pencils/crayons/markers) you will create 3 different designs.

Insert text boxes but NOT the text for your recipe.

REMEMBER: all your information (complete recipe, 3 interesting facts, what it means to my family, image AND your first name and tutor group) must fit on the recipe flyer.

Look at an example of what we will be creating:  http://year7cookbook.pbworks.com/w/page/27257033/What%27s%20Cookin%27


Learning objective: create designs and communicate them.
